First few months when my son was born I almost fell into depression because of the sudden change in my life. I did have regrets.

But now I’m glad I have him in my life. He is 1 year 5 months now and he’s the most important person in my life. Seeing him after a tough day at work truly makes me happy.

Is he annoying sometimes? Yes especially when he’s having a tantrum. But at the end of the day I absolutely love having him in my life.

What I did to cope was I had a schedule with my wife. When he was a baby and used to wake up every 2 hours we used to have shifts at night to take care of him.

Now that he is a toddler, we take turns as well for chores, who to entertain him, etc. This way we have more time for us. I am also blessed to have a job that only requires me to work 10-12 days a month. Thus for the days that I do not have work I will take care of him fully and allow my wife to rest. Then I will catch up on sleep in the morning/evenings.
